Ever wondered who actually uses math in their career? Now is a great time to look in to that. Using Glogster, you are going to give a little information about a career that you may not have thought about before. This website has a list of careers that all use math by clicking on the careers tab. Pick one out and start finding information. You don't have to pick something you know you want – pick something that sounds interesting! Once you have looked through and chosen your career, create a glog based on that career. It needs to include the following things:
A title that states your career
A description of the career – what do they do? This should be in your words!
The education required to do the career – do you need a Master’s degree? a PhD? a high school diploma?
The math used in your chosen career
Salary information – include the high and low salary
A box stating why you chose this career - and "because it looked cool" is not enough!
A citation of your source – it is important to cite your sources even for a project like this! Go to easybib.com and enter in the information you used.
Each page should include a video from YouTube (or something similar). We will unblock YouTube for a day so that you can get these videos.
Make your glog creative! Find pictures and other graphics that better describe what this career is all about.
